What's difference between Solaris x86 Server and Solaris x86 Desktop?

There is absolutely no difference, other than what you are
licensed to do with it. You get exactly the same software with
the two products.
(This is not the case with Sparc server,
where the server product contains more CDs with some additional software.
If you want something like Solstice AdminSuite,
you have to order it separately.


The Solaris desktop license restricts you from using the system as
"any type of server" (other than print or NIS).
or supporting more than two continuous users.
Read your license for details.
A Server Upgrade License is available.
